"What does the future sound like when it’s been and gone? In the case of Jan Garbarek‘s double album ‘Rites’, released as two CDs in 1998, and now appearing on two LPs as part of the Luminessence vinyl series, this bygone future still sounds pretty damn good." - UK Jazz News Website: https://www.ecmrecords.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ecmrecords Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ecm_records
